kimanjo Posted April 13, 2020 #501 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Can you imagine what Disney is going thru in regards to the parks. Anyone who has been and waited in a twisting, serpentining line waiting to ride ANY ride, there is zero physical distancing going on. And having to wipe down EVERY car every time a rider exits, and a new rider gets in. Think of the cars on Rock n Roll Rollercoster, or Space Mountain. Their whole plan is to pack 100,000 people into multiple parks, restaurants, kids clubs. All of this with lots and lots of multigenerational groups and people with health issues. What a nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted April 13, 2020 #508 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The CDC issued an order that cruise ships are suspended through July. So don't see anyone going anywhere this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted April 13, 2020 #509 Share Posted April 13, 2020 he CDC Order The order effectively bans cruise ship operations in light of the COVID-19 epidemic until the earliest of any of three conditions is met: 1- If the Secretary of Health and Human Services declares that the COVID-19 public health emergency has expired; 2- If the CDC Director rescinds or modifies the order, based on public health or other considerations; Today In: Travel Virtually Visit HaliPuu, One Of Finland’s Most Breathtaking Attractions, With Its New App The 2019 Bordeaux Vintage Shouts Lively Fruit And Elegant Tannins Delta Air Lines Changes Boarding Procedure To Accommodate Social Distancing 3- 100 days from the date of publication (April 9) of the order in the Federal Register.

AF-1 Posted April 13, 2020 #511 Share Posted April 13, 2020 You can see from the above order; 3-100 days from Apr 9th which takes us into July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted April 13, 2020 #513 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) mimip; do the math. Apr 9 was the order; add 100 days. That would take us to July 17th. Edited April 13, 2020 by AF-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimip Posted April 13, 2020 #514 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) We are booked July 31st to Alaska. Our deposit is nonrefundable (something I neglected to make note of). We can apply it to FCC. However, if the 70+ doctor’s letter is still required, we will not be able to use it as my husband is 70 with has well controlled diabetes. That doesn’t seem fair.

No problem; what I did notice from this order; until the cruise industry comes up with a game plan that will comply with both the CDC and US Coast Guard; there will be no ships sailing to or from US ports. So if the cruise lines don't submit for approval by July; then the order gets extended past that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocntscha Posted April 13, 2020 #519 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think eventually an official government document showing you've been inoculated for Covid-19 will become a required document you'll have to present at embarkation day along with your boarding pass and passport.

Is your Alaska cruise on Princess? Princess has not issued any 70+ letter requirement and the new CDC order is very specific as to what conditions will need to be met. 70+ letter was not one of the conditions required by the Federal Government. If Princess cancels the cruise, then you will be entitled to a refund of the deposit. It was only non-refundable if you cancelled the cruise before Princess does.

Norwegian has one too, but it is not so detailed. I have spoken to Celebrity and have been told they do not know how long their requirement will last. And no, the CDC did not order this.

If you're posting information about Celebrity on this forum, you're creating some confusion as some of what you are posting here doesn't apply to the readers of this forum. I'm not trying to be snarky to you, I'm just asking that you be a little more selective as to the information you post for us Princess cruisers. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
